Character sketches of Julius Caesar and Mark Antony from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar ➡
Explanation:
JULIUS CAESAR –
Julius Caesar is a great general of Rome, who has recently won a civil war against Pompey and returns to Rome in triumph.
He is beloved by many, almost to idolatry, and hated by some. He is somewhat old, not as physically powerful as he believes, deaf in the left ear, and subject to epileptic fits. He is also pompous and given to speaking of himself in the third person. He is hopeful that his wife’s barrenness may be cured during the Feast of Lupercal. A good leader of men, he has good instincts about them that he does not always listen to. He refuses to be crowned king when the crowd approves his refusal, despite an evident desire to accept the crown. He is swayed by his wife’s fears for a time, but the thought of receiving a crown, and appeals to his vanity – such as the thought that he might be considered a coward – convince him to go to the Capitol in spite of Calpurnia’s premonitions. He plays the role of Caesar to the hilt, insisting on his constancy, equanimity, and refusal to budge. He does not notice how he is surrounded when the conspirators kneel to prevent him from fleeing, and is shocked that Brutus is among the men stabbing him. He returns as a Ghost to warn Brutus that they will meet again at Philippi. Brutus takes his second appearance as a sign that his time is come.
MARK ANTONY –
Mark Antony is Caesar’s closest companion. A young man much given to reveling, enjoying music and plays, he runs in the sacred race of the Feast of Lupercal, touching Calpurnia on the way in the hopes of curing her barrenness.
Mark Antony is Caesar’s closest companion. A young man much given to reveling, enjoying music and plays, he runs in the sacred race of the Feast of Lupercal, touching Calpurnia on the way in the hopes of curing her barrenness. A great upholder of obedience to Caesar, he is not as good a judge of men as his mentor, discounting Caesar’s opinion of Cassius. Brutus underestimates him severely, considering little more than an extension of Caesar. Antony manages to con the conspirators, particularly Brutus, into letting him speak to the crowd after the murder. He accepts to say nothing negative about the conspirators in his funeral oration, and circumvents this by his constant references to them as ‘honorable men’. In contrast to Brutus’s prose logic-chopping, he gives a shrewdly emotional speech to the crowd, showing them Caesar’s body and reading them his will, whipping them to a fury. He is ruthless enough to add his own nephew to the list of Romans to be purged once he, Octavius and Lepidus join forces to resist the conspirators. He has little use for Lepidus and does not appreciate Octavius’s lack of respect for his greater age and experience. Once Brutus is dead, he is willing to praise him for his idealism.
My answer is big but I am sure it will help you.
